'Old MacFarmer Had A Cow' According to Birthday Boy Eli

Our little rascal turned two years old today and I don't think we even needed to get him a present. The thought of chocolate cupcakes alone was birthday bliss for him. He told me several times this morning that he was going to "sing 'Happy birthday to Eli, Happy birthday to you', then blow out candle, and eat chocolate cake." He's a very focused and passionate boy when it comes to food. If we give him something to eat between meals, he'll squeal, "Snacks! My FAVORIK!"

Eli is also quite talkative at home. I have my very own running commentator every day. These days I'll put my hair up because I'm too tired to do anything with it. But once when I actually blew it dry after showering, he found it so out of the ordinary that he said, "Your hair... is funny." I have a feeling it may traumatize him growing up with the ugliest mom in the neighborhood.

But I love how he has to tell us everything that's on his mind. Unlike Jude at this age, he speaks really well. And without realizing it, every night as we go to bed Kwang and I will remember something funny Eli said or did and have another good laugh about it... because we miss him already.

Happy Birthday, Spanky!

Aww, Happy Bday, Eli!  =)  And Lisa, you are no where near being the ugliest mommy in the neighborhood so don't be so ridiculous!  I hope I look as good as you while pregnant, post-pregnant, and then some!  Shoot, I'd be happy to look like you now - I'm afraid my tummy is much bigger than yours and I haven't even had any kids.  =(
